All most ready for the gear box to go back in the car . Skyline clutch on a Cosworth fly wheel



Cosworth presher plate fitted



Center push all finished and fitted








New gear box mount all sealed up just needs painting now



As I had to cut the floor on the drivers side and weld it I could not be botherd to have to paint it all again so I'v used self adhesive heat reflective stuff it looks better in real life and I'm happy with it






And my new master cilinder turned up yesterday as I need a smaller size than I was running



I'v all so got my hands on the pump that will run the gear box no photos of that at the mo as it's not turned up yet

Thanks for the updates. BUT wear gloves, oil is not good for you!

I get through 10-20 pairs every weekend. Oil can cause Cancer!

Thanks mate I no wot your saying about gloves but I just can not get on with then as I just rip them all the time and there's not much fealing in them .

Caddyshack

That's a funny one Glenn i do but I'v give it to my good mate Rex as he is pulling his escort Cosworth to bits to do a full rebuild so I'm stuck out side in the cold

Excellent work on the whole car not just the gear box, I look forward to hearing how it performs once all done.

The Underdog

whats the pump for. is it controlling power between front and rear at different rates.. i know nothing about how these boxes work so interested if you could explain please.

COLEYST200

Hi mate thanks for posting . Wot it is the skyline box is 2wd and 4x4 when there in the skyline the ECU that dose the abs all so runs the gear box 4x4 side as well if the rear wheels start to spin the pump will in a split second bring the 4x4 on line as the car runs in 2wd if all is well . But as I'm not running the abs side of a skyline on my car i can make the gear box do wot I won't it to do like run 2wd all the time or make it run wot ever I won't like 90% rear 10% front .. 80% rear 20% front and so on or even 2wd but when you tuch the brake it can be made to go into 4x4 to help the car under braking so it's a very good bit of kit .
We have had the pump running on the bench tonight so we now no 100% haw this pump runs so just got to fit it into the car and wire it to haw I won't it

The Underdog

very clever stuff. thanks for explaining and keep up the good work

Not read your thread for a while mate and I've really enjoyed catching up with it, fantastic job you've done with the conversion.

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Thanks very much mate I just wish I had done this mod when I was putting the car togever in the first place .

COLEYST200

iTrader: (3)

Thanks Glenn your right about turning the key I was stunned when we put the battery back on it's all come to life and it fired up first turn as well . But I will admit I did have a moment we ran the car in first gear all good put into second and the wheels did not go round and for a moment I did think O shit but I tryed the gear stick again and it was me I had not put into gear propley . So we did all the gears and revers and it all sounds very good

Jay,
